Evaluating the Energy Consumption of Mobile Data Transfer—From Technology Development to Consumer Behaviour and Life Cycle Thinking
Evaluating the Energy Consumption of Mobile Data Transfer—From Technology Development to Consumer Behaviour and Life Cycle Thinking
Mobile data consumption in Finland is among the highest in the world. The increase in mobile data usage has been rapid and continual future growth is foreseen. Simultaneously, consumer behaviour is changing. While new end-user devices are more and more energy-efficient and energy consumption per transferred gigabyte has significantly decreased, people spend more time and consume more data via their mobile devices than ever before. Does the increased usage outweigh the energy savings that have been achieved? What options are available for tackling increasing energy demand? And should consumers have a role to play in this discussion? This paper examines the current and future trends that results from the energy consumption of mobile data transfer and mobile networks in Finland. The findings presented in this paper are based on a top-down energy intensity estimate and publicly available data, which was employed to construct an illustrative trend (kWh/gigabyte) for the energy consumption of transmitted mobile data for the years 2010–2017. In addition, energy consumption related to mobile data transfer is discussed from a life cycle perspective, considering both direct and indirect energy use. Finally, the challenges in conducting such assessments are examined.

Accessibility overlays
Web accessibility overlays are tools or technologies that aim to improve the accessibility of a website. However, claims that a website can be made fully compliant in an automated fashion are not realistic.

Les attitudes face à la contrainte légale. L'exemple de l'intégration professionnelle des personnes handicapées
Les attitudes face à la contrainte légale. L'exemple de l'intégration professionnelle des personnes handicapées
Les lois du 10 juillet 1987 et du 11 février 2005 portant sur l’intégration des personnes en situation de handicap imposent un quota de 6 % des effectifs ainsi qu’une contribution pécuniaire à verser en cas de non respect de ce quota. Les études anglo-saxonnes, en particulier celles d’Ewick et Silbey (1998), décrivent trois approches du droit : la conformité, le jeu et la résistance. Envisageant plus spécifiquement l’intégration des personnes en situation de handicap, Point et al. (2010) distinguent deux attitudes, l’une « réactive » qui vise à répondre uniquement à l’obligation légale, l’autre « proactive » qui consiste à mettre en œuvre une véritable politique handicap. S’appuyant sur des entretiens semi-directifs menés auprès de 22 DRH et 8 chargés de mission handicap, notre étude affine la typologie des attitudes des responsables des ressources humaines dans leur rapport à la contrainte légale et montre qu’une connaissance globale et approfondie de la loi peut aider à adopter une attitude proactive.
